    Elote Breakfast Burrito
    Dylan D.

    Decided to go to First Watch since I was familiar with the franchise after going to one in Houston. This location is within a rather small parking lot which seems to be dedicated to First Watch, we were able to find a spot near the back of the lot but it was quite crowded when we arrived around 11am. The interior is pretty long with a large number of seating inside the building so we had no trouble getting seated right away by the hostess. We decided on food relatively quickly due to previous experience with the business, however, our waiter never came around to take our orders or even give us water at the table. We saw one girl with dyed hair who unassumingly could have been our waiter since she was in our section but only worked with one particular table and ran to the back after each time, but never addressed our table or came by. We eventually had to flag a different waiter down who was able to help us place the order and service us for the rest of our visit, she also informed us that this other "Waiter" was supposed to help us but she wasn't sure why she never made an attempt to do so after having us wait 20 mins and other tables were being serviced. We ordered Flordian French Toast and Elote Breakfast Burrito (plus a couple sides and drink) which were both really good, and filling. Prices weren't too bad for what we ordered and was able to take our mind off of the rather long wait to get helped. Not sure if we'll come back to this particular location again, but it was nice trying the restaurant out another time.

    We love our experience at first watch every single time . The food is always delicious. The staff is so friendly and service is quick even it's super busy. The ambiance here is always so great and welcoming,it gets the warm feeling that you like to feel for the Sunday brunch.

    Everything omelette with sour cream & diced tomatoes, wheat toast & home fries. Perfect size meal to start the day.

    When I asked the blonde lady if the music would be this loud the entire time at 7:00am, she initially didn't hear me and I had to repeat myself. She responded by saying that they like to keep the music at this volume. Despite this, we decided to leave.But if you like extremely loud music this is your place to be.

    Haven't had brunch at First Watch in a while and this location was really good. Large parking lot and no wait. The atmosphere has a little something to be desired with all the traffic and the location isn't perfect when you're on the frontage road between two busy streets, but I also understand they can only do so much. Quibell, our server was fantastic. Super smiley and puts the customer first. I hope they're paying her well. I loved my French toast and I'm not a French toast guy; my spouse was a little underwhelmed with their food / taste. Payment is super easy by using your smart phone to scan a QR code on your receipt.

    First Watch is always on my to do list when I visit AZ and this visit was wonderful like the rest. The lemon ricotta pancakes had me, a certified pancake hater, eating half the plate before I realized what was going on. The blueberry lemon cornbread was to DIE for and one of my favorite seasonal menu items. The kale tonic drink also hits the spot and charges me up for the day. Service was friendly as always and made me feel very welcome. Can't wait to visit again!

    Million dollar bloody Mary's for the best
    Denise D.

    The food and service were great. Our waitress Elaine was great! Definitely try the bacon and potatoes. So good

    Fresh juices!

    Ate here (East Ray location) with a group of friends early in the morning on a Sunday and everything was wonderful. Our server -Vanessa- was incredible, so thoughtful and on top of it. Everything was fresh and flavorful and a few small customization requests were met with cheerful enthusiasm. Can't wait to eat here again.

    Hey, what's your favorite brunch item? I want to try this place.

    Parma hash

    Will you guys be airing the Preakness or the derby this year? And would it be OK environment to bring a small child three years old to watch with us?

    My guess is no since they have no TV's, hope that helps.

    When will this restaurant reopen after the vehicle crash on October 30th 2019?

    It was not an accident, person had heart attack & died in his truck, Restaurant will not open for mths.…

    I have never sat down at a restaurant and enjoyed everything on my plate like I have here. We…read morevisited for the first time today and decided we will most definitely be returning for more. The restaurant itself is beautiful and well lit. It was clean and well taken care of. Our party of several guests was seated immediately upon arrival. The menu features an impressive selection of handcrafted refreshments, including artisan smoothies, specialty coffees, and teas, eschewing traditional sodas and standard juices in favor of higher-quality offerings. I ordered the coconut lime refresher, which was exceptionally bright and refreshing. The chicken tacos were equally outstanding. My husband selected the "Goat Temptation," which proved so popular that our nine-year-old shared a significant portion of it. Every plate was cleared, and the quality of the meal was exemplary throughout. We were particularly impressed by the service provided by Monae, whose warmth and attentive care truly enhanced our dining experience. It is clear that she is deeply passionate about her craft. I would rate this experience higher than five stars if possible; it was truly exceptional.

Starting from the outside, with a couple of tables out front, the place already had a chill vibe. Once we walked in, it felt very spacious. I loved the decor and the colors. We were seated at a bigger table for the four of us. At first, we thought the table might be a little too big, but it actually worked out perfectly because we could use the extra chairs for our purses and bags. Very thoughtful! My friends ordered regular lattes, and I got the Triple Berry Fusion. For food, we ordered the Omelette with Sausage, Saumon Fumé Toast, and the Monae Chicken Sandwich. The presentations were all so pretty, and everything tasted delicious. Our server was very nice. She let us take our time to chat and even became our photographer. At the end, we also got the chance to meet the owner, Monae. She was very kind, easygoing, and welcoming. The only thing that might be an issue is if we bring our husbands or guy friends with us next time. The portions are a little on the smaller side, so they might still be hungry afterward. We'll definitely come back to try something different next time.

I had the Xmas in July, brown butter brown sugar latte, iced with almond milk. Flavors were pleasant, not overpowering and not overwhelmingly sweet. The toasty flavor of the brown butter paired well with the almond milk and it wasn't too sweet with the brown sugar. If you like it sweeter they do have a condiment bar. My mini got the firecracker lemonade. It tasted exactly like a bomb pop. It was a little too sweet for my taste but she loved it. Cute vibes, super chill. Ample parking as it shares a parking lot with multiple businesses. FYI: the parking lot exit on the side with the light and the smaller side street is more "low car friendly". The lip of the entrance to the parking lot from 7th St is weirdly steep.
